SNSD – Oh!
Honestly, for those in the NU region, I hardly have to explain this. Asian guys just like SNSD.

Taeyang – Wedding Dress
The 2nd most overplayed song at Celebrasia (where Bad Romance was 1st)

Matt Duke – Rabbit
Thanks Katie Hsih for a nice song! I feel like if i were to do a cover this would be fun to do. As in, it would be doable and quite fun!

Little Boots – Remedy
Yes, this is, in fact, a fun song. Little Boots in general is pretty fun, but i think this is probably the best on the album.

A Fine Frenzy – Blow Away
I guess technically “New Heights” is the song that most people like, but I find that this one is pretty good as well. It’s light and enjoyable to listen to, of course!

? – A Suprise!
Well I guess putting a good description would give it away, but it’s now my ringtone on my cell, as well as a nice way to reminisce on childhood things!
I apologize – to me, it seems the pickings are slim, and not as interesting as they were last time. I just wanted to share some other stuff that people might not have heard – maybe I’ll have some more inspiration at a later date (ie when I am not going through final projects). And, of course, if you want to download any of these songs, let me know.
An exciting week
For my NUvention project, we’re developing an Android application. To assist with the development, we were given a Google Nexus One, which I got to take home this past week for personal use.

Basically, the Nexus One is probably the best phone I have ever used (though the HTC HD2 comes in close second – I only played with the hardware). Apps marketplace is pretty robust, though it might not be as big as the App Store. Managed to kill the battery once by forgetting to turn off a GPS app (phone was dead by dinner) and also managed to get hit by a $200 data fee (luckily diverted by a last minute $15 unlimited data addition). But really, that just highlights how Google Apps connectivity is just baked into the phone so you’re always connected. Love it!
I went to the Chicago Auto Show the first night i got the phone, and took some pics of new cars! Since I am pretty car illiterate, i just call them “shiny” and “faster than my van”. Photos were taken on the Nexus One’s 5MP camera. Apologies for pieces being cut off.

Cars are fun, and it was a good night out with Chenfei, John, Matt, and David. We went to Lao Sichuan in New Chinatown afterward. It was spicy and good.
Following was a week of class, and lots of busy work.

Programming in Tech for 10+ hour shifts is always fun! But is OK because the night it was due, I was able to go to a David Choi concert! He is an amazing singer and a funny guy. For the NU-ites out there, look for him at KASA show this Spring!

What a good singer. Apologies for the fuzziness in any pics – I am still getting the hang of taking dark photos (as in, I have no idea). I also notice that this was the first “this is what I did” blogs in a while. Enjoyable?
